Online essay writing services are provided to students for a cost. This cost can range from a small amount of money to an obscene amount. Many students would indeed be looking at the cost of the essay, but I think there is much more to be looked at when using a form of plagiarism.By definition plagiarism is "the practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own". The online essay writing service in question claims that, "neither TurnItIn nor any other plagiarism detecting software cannot find any plagiarism. The problem should not be that this is indeed plagiarism, but rather that by using these types of online sites students are hindering their own learning. Also the disclaimer on the website clearly states that the essay written are to be used for research purposes only. However, when the blogger asked the question regarding plagiarism, the service provider in question responds by saying that plagiarism can not be detected when submitted through the TurnItIn or other plagiarism detecting software. The disclaimer indeed protects the provider, but in no way shape or form does the website have anyone's best interest in mind.
